Slacker!

Oops! It's been 8 days since I last posted. Sorry! I've really been a slacker! But I haven't been slacking on getting healthy. :)

Also, did you see that I updated my ticker? Yup, thats right, down 5.1 lbs more! (as of 1/14) I will be weighing in again tomorrow! A little curious about 5.1lbs in 1 week but we will talk about that in a little bit.

Since my last post not much has changed. I don't think I said much though, about my husband, Nick. He has decided to join me in a weight loss journey! WooHoo! This is great support and helps me even more. I'm so excited that he made this decision. He did it on his own, which makes me even more excited. And he really is determined to get healthy.

Here's a little info about Nick:

Height: 6'1"
Starting weight (1/7): 266.5
Goal weight: 215
Starting BMI:35.2
Goal BMI:28.6

Nick Week 1 weigh in (1/14): 257.8, loss of 8.7lbs!!!

Nick has the same problem as I do, not eating enough through out the day and then stuffing our face at dinner time. Nick also has a SWEET tooth. Another problem Nick has, is that it's very difficult to eat healthy during the day because of his job. He drives truck. He is home everyday but, he doesn't always get a lunch break or when he does get one, he doesn't have a place to warm up a lunch he brought from home. This leaves him with the option of fast food or gas station food. He has been doing great, getting salads and fruit but I wish I could help him with all the temptation to just run through BK or MCD's... Any ideas would be awesome!

So enough about Nick :)

Back to the fact that I lost 5.1lbs last week. Isn't this a bit much? Is it healthy to lose weight that fast? I guess in my head, any weight that comes off is good, my body is healthier with it off.. but will it come back easier if it comes off so fast? This is something that I will need to do some research on. Have you experienced weeks with that high of a loss? I also wonder what caused it. I didn't change anything. I'm still eating the same amount? lso, for you ladies.. do you really notice a difference in your weight gain/loss around that time of the month? Wow, there's so much to learn about getting healthy!

I'm pretty excited to weigh in tomorrow. I think I had a really good week.

Here's a few pictures to see a little more of who we are :)

And I left the best, most recent one for last! Hope you enjoyed :)
